Sometimes a stock is hot and sometimes it just burns. Following are the Fast Money misfires.

Jeff Macke

On February 12^th the Lone Wolf thought volatility in the price of crude took refiners like Tesoro

Unfortunately Macke has nothing to gush about, here. Shares of Tesoro are higher.

I still don’t like the refiners, says Jeff Macke. If you want to get long oil, buy crude.

Tim Seymour

On February 4^th the Ambassador thought he’d find a good life at a great price in Sears

[SHLD  Loading...      ()   ]. At the time he said, "On a valuation basis it’s very cheap."

But Seymour didn’t get more for his money from this retailer. Since the call, the stock is down 9%.

It’s a sum of the parts trade, says Tim Seymour. I’m going to hold what I have.

Guy Adami

On Feb. 19^th the Negotiator found divine inspiration from Apollo Group

Alas, Apollo appears to have been more powerful in ancient Greece than modern Wall Street. Shares of APOL plunged 8% Thursday.

I stayed with the trade too long, admits Adami. But I still like the stock.

Karen Finerman

On January 11^th the Chairwoman turned trendy. At the time she recommended Crocs

Unfortuantely for Finerman the trend may be at an end. Crocs plunged Wednesday on a pessimistic outlook.

I deserve to be fast fired for this, says Karen Finerman. I thought they would beat and the market would react positively. That didn’t happen.
